Ouch Chess

The Database has over 1,350 games by DragonTail. It would have even more if it included games where Black played ...Be7 instead of ...Bc5.

DragonTail - REDEF
blitz, FICS, 2011

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6


The Semi-Italian Opening.

4.Bxf7+

Why even wait for Black to play ...Bc5?

4...Kxf7 5.d4 d6 6.dxe5 Nxe5


Played without much consideration. The Black d-pawn is pinned.

7.Nxe5+ Ke8 8.Qh5+ Black resigned

Ouch!
